From Ranch to Law Enforcement: Kayce Dutton's New Mission

In Marshals, Dutton leverages his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring a unique blend of justice to Montana. The series promises to showcase his transformation, blending the rugged spirit of the West with the procedural drama of law enforcement.
Marshals, which serves as both a spinoff and sequel to Yellowstone, is set to continue the legacy of the franchise by introducing new characters and storylines. The series is part of the larger Yellowstone universe, which includes the original series, the prequel 1923, and the 1883 series.
